Jets fined for not disclosing Brett Favre injury

Minnesota QB Brett Favre recently disclosed that he had a pretty bad arm injury towards the end of last year and admits that head coach Eric Mangini probably should have benched him. The only problem? This wasn’t disclosed properly on the injury report and the NFL don’t get down like that.

So the league has fined the NY Jets $75,000 and banged Mangini for $25,000 and GM Mike Tannenbaum for $25,000 as well.

The Jets and Mangini aren’t the first people to mess with the injury report, but it isn’t policed all that much. Big Ben was banged up last year before the Super Bowl, but wasn’t on the injury report because he was practicing all week….even though that has nothing to do with the rule of the injury report and why it is in place.

Still, it’s nice to see Mangini get punished for something.
